theJ Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 Last update for now: At the All-Star Break, the team is much improved. Nov 8-7 record! Dec 9-7 record! Jan 8-5 record! Dale Burke made the All-Star Team as the 8th man! 28-24 at the All-Star Break, currently at the 6 seed Bobcats have the 1 seed... Currently have the 6th ranked offense, major improvements in all categories Signed Nick Young to 1 year extension worth 1.68M (Bench Warmer role) And the recruiting class. I may be out of range for all of them, but we'll see. This class looks to be a lot deeper than the last one. Also two good centers. The league needs that. I was concerned my backup 61 OVR would be asking for an 8M deal soon...

It also has game crippling bugs like you can’t resign your draft picks when their rookie contracts expire before they hit free agency. Now that doesn’t sound that bad cause you can just sign them in free agency? Well not really, because you can’t go over the soft salary cap to sign free agents. The cpu doesn’t seem to be affected by this glitch, so you’re essentially stuck with $30ish less in cap space than the rest of the league. This is all myGM stuff right? Haven’t run into it in myLeague, which is a lot more like a traditional franchise mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have seen the first part and then realized I’m not yet deep enough to experience the contracts. About to enter Year 4, so I guess that’ll kill me tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is surprising, because i've been battling with them for the #1 seed the last three seasons. They have Kemba Walker and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (who they've had the whole time), then signed Kyrie in FA. One of Kemba or Kyrie must be playing SG, because they're both PG. That's it. The rest of the team looks like a lot like mine. Lots of mid-70's filling out the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 If possible, you should try to trade up for Jeffrey Ellis. Trading into the back part of the lottery isn't that unrealistic if he makes it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a game-breaking glitch when myGM is now ranked nonsense. It wasn't fixed a month ago. However, when i looked to extend them, it gave me the message "Players entering the last year of their contract must be signed in the off-season" or whatever, so I thought that meant you had to offer the extension in the off-season before their 4th year... but I never tested it Sorry @theJ to bog your thread down with this, I will stop posting about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Burke is going into the last year of his contract. I noticed i could resign him during the season, but elected not to. I figured i would do it next year. Now i'm wondering if i made a mistake (i already simmed past the extension deadline). Maybe try extended guys when they're in their 3rd season?

Maybe try extended guys when they're in their 3rd season? The bug we're talking about didn't show up until NBA 2k19. To answer your question I think you can extend rookies in their 4th season in prior 2ks. I would extend them as soon as it lets you because they will be lower OVRs. The more they grow the more expensive they'll get. You don't want your draft picks to hit free agency. In the NBA teams are allowed to pass the soft cap to extend their own players, but cannot sign free agents once over the soft cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Ellis is gone in the top 5 though. The very first draft class saw Junior Barber go #3, and he was down far enough that i didn't even have him on my list. Then 2013-14 saw Chucky Green go #2, and he was a middling Lottery pick according to my scouts (A+ potential though). There were certainly better prospects in both cases, but the Centers go quick. 1 minute ago, MKnight82 said: The bug we're talking about didn't show up until NBA 2k19.

I sort of messed up, because i was looking at from the perspective of keeping him cheaper in year 4 of his deal. But it's just going to get more expensive, because the next chance i have to extend him is after the offseason progression. I'll do better with Marty and Chad.

theJ Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 As the 8 seed, i drew the #1 seeded Detroit Pistons, led by Chris Paul. I'm going to post the game-by-game scores. Not sure on the best format for people to follow along here, so feel free to comment. Game 1 Orlando @ Detroit 86 98 0-1 Game 2 Orlando @ Detroit 99 104 0-2, looking bleak Game 3 Detroit @ Orlando 107 108 1-2, hope Game 4 Detroit @ Orlando 89 87 1-3, we're in trouble Game 5 Orlando @ Detroit 107 134 Welp, that's it. Pistons overall were just too deep. Every starter they had is over 80 OVR, and i had no answer for 94 OVR Chris Paul. Next year. BTW, Pistons won the Championship, so at least i lost to the champion.
